ate othing but the plainest fare, well
cooked. He drank coffee and tea and
sometimes wines. He slept well, also.

On POSTAL TYPOGRAPHY.
POSTAL TELEGRAPHY SAID TO M
ply INCREASED POWER

Cen. Herbert, Chief of the House Com.
mittee on Naval Affairs, Advances
New Ideas. Formed During His Tour
of Europe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Gen. Herbert,
Of Alabama, chairman OF the house COM
nittee or naval affairs, has just returned
rom Europe, where he spent the sum
ner, and gives evidence, in an interview,
of having been frightened with the
power of foreign governments over their
subjects. He says he is opposed to
postal telegraphy, because he OPP
poses an increase of federal power.
he thinks it would result unfavor-
ably TO the people for the government
o have exclusive control of the telegraph
or The people, because there would be
10 competition. Gen. Herbert's argu-
ipent creates some merrimant among the
advocates of postal telegraphy. He con
cludes his observations in this language:
stJay Gould could not compete with the
government, and he would be forced to
sell out at a reasonable price. If we es-
tablished a postal telegraph it would Gre
ate at least SO, 600 more Office holders,
and in less than two years the
number would be double. just
imagine what a force that would
give the party in power. Then
again, saying that the government
should take the telegraphs, the next
step would be to control the railroads.
1t is this policy in France that prevents
that republic from being a republic in
the true meaning OF the word. The pol
icy of the government in controlling the
heiegraphs. railroads, substituting opera
houses, preachers, art, etc, is the legacy
left the French people by Louis XIV.
We must keep our individuality, and to
do that, we must guard against every in
crease of power to the government. The
subject will be an interesting one this
winter, and will provoke a great deal of
discussion. Much can be said on both
slues.ii

coMpAcT BETWEEN OFFICIALS TO
UNITE CHURCH AND STATE.

A Combination said to Have Been Made.

Mormon Bishop and the Executive OF
Arizona-The Coming Issue.
TUscoN, Ari., Nov. 1.-The Star says
editorially: Enormous now hold the bal
ance of power between the political par
ties in Arizona. The influence Of this
political factor was felt in the Arizona
legislature at Prescott last winter. 1t is
well known that a combination was made
betweenthe Mormon bishop from Salt
Lake aud the executive of Arizona, in
which 1t was agreed that no legislation
inimical to the Mormon church or polyg-
amy should be passed. The compact
was kept. The Star charges that The
chief executive of Arizona is using his
high office to unite the Mormon church
and the state. If q combination has been
made with the Mormon church of Ari-
zens for political purposes it predicts that
at the next election there will be but one
issue, whether the state or the church
shall control the politics of Arizona"

THE MISSING ANARCHIST.
THE SECRET THAT PREYED UPON
THG MIND OF A TRAMP.

Under the Influence of Liquor, q Wan
dering Workman Tells a Story Which
May Throw light on the Haymarket
Tragedy.
ELIZABETH, N. T., Nov. Charlie
Hoffman, carpenter, says that on Satur-
day week he met a man who called him
self Seller, or something of that sort, and
said he had lately come from England,
II had walked all the way from New
York, seeking work. Hoffman gave him
lodging and helped him to get work.
They drank together, il the stranger,
who seemed uneasy in mind, became COM
municative, and said he was in Chicago
at the time of tho Haymarket riot, and
helped to carry q trunk full of bombs to
a saloon just before the massacre. When
asked If he threw the bombs himself, he
seemed much distressed, but finally
said, no. He said he fed after
the riot and went to Shields,
England. When the man became
sober again he begged Hoffman not to
repeat what he had said while drinking,
but Hoffman had already told his en-
ployer about 1T, thinking the man might
be ~Schnanbelt, the missing anarchist.
The man got work with a farmer named
Mailman, bit was so nervous and
seemed so remorseful about something
that he could do no work, and was dis
charged, Later, the stranger was seen
wandering along the Long Branch rail
road tracks. The Elizabeth anarchists
think he may have been Seliger, the man
who testified against the condemned men
to save his own neck. Seliger testified
that he helped Lingg make bombs, and
carried them in a trunk to the anarchists
headquarters.
